Awards and reviews
Most of the madrigals on this CD come from the Seventh Book of 1619, very much a watershed in Monteverdi’s output. In many instances they are for virtuoso singers and make a break with the past in that they call for instrumental accompaniment. The recording is excellently balanced. Strongly recommended
